But like, for example, something we think about is say, you know, you are trying to get SNAP benefits, trying to get something changed with your SNAP benefits and you're at a DHS office in Grant County and And you tell that person like, oh, I had trouble this month because I am getting kicked out of my house, right? Or I'm having trouble with my landlord.

Being able to give the DHS worker in Grant County enough familiarity with Oregon Law Help that they can say, It sounds like that's a problem you might be able to solve looking at Oregon Law Help and bring that person in.

That person might just say, well, I've got a problem with my landlord and this sucks.

I'm always having problems with my landlord.
